Refreshing Melon Juice
Melon juice: prepare this incredibly refreshing and hydrating drink in minutes. Perfect for cooling down on a hot summer day.
Ingredients
- 3 cups Honeydew, Cantaloupe, and/or Watermelon
- 1 cup Ice
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves
- 1/4 cup coconut water
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
Instructions
- Combine all melon pieces, ice, lime juice, fresh mint, coconut water, and grated ginger in a high-speed blender.
- Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and no chunks remain, about 1-2 minutes.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or tartness as desired, adding more lime juice for tang or a touch of honey for sweetness.
- Pour the juice into glasses and serve immediately, garnished with a fresh mint sprig or a melon wedge.
Notes
- For an extra chill, freeze some melon cubes beforehand and use them instead of or in addition to ice. This prevents dilution.
- If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a splash of cold water or coconut water to the blend.
- To make it a bit tangy, add a squeeze of fresh lime juice after blending. I always find a touch of acid brightens the melon's natural sweetness. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically. Values vary with brands, substitutions and portion sizes.
